Stocking/Nylon Flower Making

Hi !!!

Today i am going to share with u the steps to make stocking flowers.Stockings/Nylon flowers, as they call it is not only very easy to make but also another durable mode of filling up ur empty vases with beautiful blooms both seasonal & non-seasonal !

Material required
Stockings (color of ur choice),flower making wire, thick wire for stem, thread,green tape used for flower making

Steps
Make rings out of flower making wire. Size - small, medium&large.

Hv used candle molds to make the rings.These will be ur petals. U can use any empty can or containers to do the same.
Tie stockings on the ring with the help of thread.This part is a bit tricky, as u can't afford to hv rings having loosely tied stockings.
After ur rings / petals are ready, u need to make the center of the flower. For this step, u need to take a thick stem wire, and bend it a bit from one end.Tie a cotton ball on this end & cover it with nylon of same color as the flower is or any contrast color.

One can also use ready made pips available in any craft shop.

After this, arrange & tie the petals around the centre in ascending order i.e from smaller to bigger petals

Now u can start giving shape to the petals. For rose, u can bend the wire frm middle, oval, elongated for sunflower etc/

Finally, to give a finishing look, u need to cover it with green tape. U can also make leaves, following the same  steps. Ur flower r ready.

Hope this tutorial comes in handy to get u started in making nylon flowers.

Thank u for visiting!!!!

Have a nice day !!!!

M-seal face mask

Lately i hv been concentrating on M-seal art. Next in the series are these woman /man wall masks.

Method

1. I already had an old broken mask which i used to get the base for my mask. Tightly wrap  a polythene around the old mask and cover it with m-seal  clay.
2. Let it dry for a while. After that take it out frm the polythene. Now you have got the basic structure of face mask.
3. Then i made a long snake of m-seal & attached it from the top of the mask  till  the center. Then i painted the base & nose.
4. I also painted eyes, lips, mustache, hair accordingly using fevicryl acrylic colors.
5. For the stand on which the masks are hanging, hv used a simple ply, got it cut according to the design u see in the picture. This is entirely optional.
6. Hv decorated the ply with flowers & leaves made of leftover ceramic dough. This again depends on ur choice. U can also use m-seal for the same.
7. Lastly hv colored them with acrylic colors.

I hope this will give u some innovative ideas that u can try out with m-seal.

Friendship Day

Hv made this parchment card to celebrate friendship day. This card is for all my friends who stood by me thru thick & thin and who hv been supportive of me at all times irrespective of the fact whether i was right or wrong. Today i also miss my school/college friends with whom i had shared a major portion of my life and with whom i hv lost touch. Hopefully, i will find them soon and will try to recreate the lost magic. That would be truely nostalgic.

Once again 'HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY" to every body .

Thanx for taking out time from ur busy schedules and visiting my blog !!!
